Intelligent control and reformation for conventional automotive generators

Conventional automotive generators do not provide voltage regulation or intelligent control in real time.This paper analyzes intelligent control and multiple working modes for generators.The control system integrates the battery energy and vehicle state to improve generator voltage control in traditional fueled vehicles with reformation.Bench tests and tests on sample vehicles verify the system effectiveness for real-time online adjustments of the generator output voltage and braking energy recovery.The test results show that this intelligent control strategy reduces fuel consumption by 3.7%.
